Incident Summary
According to the pilot, the aircraft touched down approximately 500 feet down the runway. After rolling about 200 feet, the aircraft encountered a strong gust of wind. The gust caused the aircraft to veer left and depart the runway.
Sequence of Events
The pilot simultaneously applied full power as the aircraft struck an embankment. The impact with the embankment caused the aircraft to become airborne. However, during the brief flight, the pilot felt a vibration and therefore reduced power. The pilot then executed a landing on a grass strip that ran parallel to the asphalt runway.
After touchdown on the grass, the left main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft subsequently skidded to a stop. No further details about the aircraft, occupants, or injuries were provided in the source.
